Abstract
In October 1975, at a ceremony for the proclamation of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) ('the RDA'), then Prime Minister Gough Whitlam described the legislation as 'a historic measure', which aimed to 'entrench new attitudes of tolerance and understanding in the hearts and minds of the people'. The RDA was Australia's first federal human rights and discrimination law. Enacted shortly after the formal abandonment of the White Australia policy, it was also a legislative expression of a new commitment to multiculturalism.
